Hello guys , I have been given a topic to design an absorption tower , which is used in the production of nitric acid. The absorption tower involves chemical absorption and not physical absorption. This is where I am stuck as I cant find any good material as how to approach chemical absorption. Can anyone guide me how to tackle it or can provide any good article regarding it or any simulation software. I am still at undergraduate level, so not very experienced with it , but trying to approach the problem.
I am able to find the compositions of feed streams , but I don't know where to find the equilibrium data , rate constants , mass transfer coefficients etc. that will be required. Will be grateful if anybody can help me. Thanks in advance.
